Hello, all. This is my first visit and my first post on this site. A few months ago I had my first panic attack. When I went to my physician he asked if I was depressed. I told him that I did feel down and out every once in a while. He asked me the usual questions like, are you constantly fatigued, trouble sleeping, irritable, moody, etc..My answer was yes to all. As a result of that, he gave me some Paxil. To this date, I have not taken any of it. I refuse to take that kinda stuff because I've never felt comfortable about getting involved in such medication. I also went to a message board that was dedicated to those that were suffering from withdrawals. Anyway, my depression is mild to moderate. I'm looking for something that will 'lighten' my mood and not make me so tired all the time. When I'm active I feel great, but sometimes when I'm just lying around watching TV, I feel overly exhausted. So I found this place and thought I'd give SJW a shot. I already purchased a bottle today, but I have a few questions. I've heard you should take 3 300mg capsules daily. Is this generally taken at once or throughout the day? Also, some of the listed side effects of SJW include fatigue. This is something I'm trying to avoid. How many people out there suffer from fatigue and how bad is it? Are there any other side effects people have noticed? This is probably my biggest concern. If it doesn't do anything for me, I can handle that. But I don't want it to make me feel worse.
Any information you guys could give me would be extraordinarly helpful. Sorry about the long post. Thanks to all!

I take 4 sjw a day, which is one more than normally recommended (but I have read some posts here where people are taking 5 or even 6). I have tried several patterns of taking the pills. My two main considerations are a) convenience and b) the same concern you express about fatigue. I currently take 2 in the morning and 2 at dinner. In both instances I am at home and the pills are within reach. Also, I figure morning is too early in the day to get fatigued from sjw, and I don't care if I get tired in the evening. Afternoon is a dangerous time for me, as for others. I get tired and irritable in the middle of the afternoon, so I don't take sjw then.
I actually don't notice a great deal of fatigue from sjw. If you are worried about that, though, you can always take vitamin B complex, which is probably a good idea whether or not you take sjw. I take a B-complex in the afternoon.
One more thing. While I wrote that I take 4 sjw a day, and that others on this list have said they take even more than that, I'm not suggesting you take more than 3. I was told that it is best to start at a low dose and work your way up. It's certainly safer that way, but I suppose it's easy to get impatient, especially with sjw, which sometimes takes a month to be fully effective. Anyway, I hope this helps.
